Windows Live Writer 2009: Release Candidate
微软发布了 Windows Live Essentials，其中的 Windows Live Writer 已经升级为 Windows Live Writer 2009，版本号为14.0.8050.1202，也就是12月已经发布的 RC 版本，点此下载。
这个新版本的特性包括，更多特性请参见 Writer Zone：
- 支持搜索草稿与已发布文章
- 丰富的图片处理功能
- 插入视频功能
- 新的 twitter、Digg、Flickr 插件
新版本的 WLW 对于我来说最大的亮点就是支持搜索草稿和已发布文章，以前都是在 Windows 的搜索里找文章，很麻烦，这个功能终于算是加上去了。
换掉了 Logo，感觉没有以前的好看，启动界面也换掉了。说实话，Windows Live 的版本命名真的是太混乱了，我唯一使用的 Windows Live 产品 Windows Live Writer 不仅有 Beta 版、技术预览版、Wave 版、还有现在的 Essentials ( 2009 )版，实在是佩服微软，能和腾讯较劲的也只有 Windows Live 了。
最后是截图画廊：
